Hi Ned! Not sure what that bump is in the exhaust, but this thing is NUTS loud. Too loud, like scary lol. Going to fix that because its nasty. Sourced some parts for it already. Looks like I have a passenger door and a few other bits next week. Frame is SOLID, some surface rust but no rot 👍

Your wires and chewed up coatings will be a good thing to get off the list too! She was loud! LOL! I am working on dad's 71' CJ5, 3 speed, the shifter knobs seem to look the same. That surprised me too! HMMM? Basic stuff back then though. Watch out for cracks on the leaf springs. I ran into that problem here with mine. Have fun and stay safe!

You want something that looks like a truck, by anyone's. You want something that works like a truck, you buy a Ford. I had a '76 F250 Camper Special w/4speed manual. It was a beast. My fuel tanks were under the bed. I had an older ford with the tank in the cab, it's a bit worrisome listening to the fuel slosh around behind you. Good luck with it.
